Magpie was outlined by the author Nigel Suckling in his book "The Leprechaun Companion", 1999 (hat tip: Damian Walker) and is a Hnefatafl 7x7 game with a strong king and win in corner. But the king can only move one step at a time and can be captured on the edge.

Nigel Suckling gives three intitial orderings for the game, which we tournament tested with the result:

Nigel Suckling informs that setup no. 1 should work best. Our tests, however, showed that all three setups work but no. 2 is best, with game balance -1.28 (i.e. 128 attackers' wins per 100 defenders' wins).
